K&N Engineering has introduced its new Elevated Intake Kits, also known as snorkels, for the Ford Bronco, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota 4Runner, and Jeep JK, designed to protect engines in demanding off-road conditions. By relocating the air inlet to a higher position, the kits reduce the risk of ingesting dust, debris, and water without compromising airflow or induction tone. Each snorkel is built in the USA from durable, one-piece, roto-molded construction, styled to integrate with OEM designs, and installs in approximately three hours. Compatible with factory airboxes or select K&N cold air intakes, the systems are backed by K&N’s lifetime limited warranty and available nationwide.
